Some speculation and rumours that South American dates are getting announced the coming week.

I like the xmas shirts. It's too expensive though after shipping + import taxes

Yeah, it's not that late to leave it until December or January.

Maiden had around 73k when you count complimentary tickets.

Phantom was one the highlights for me.

They are classics, but deep cuts in a live setting.

If they only went for 2x London Stadium in the UK on a tour like this I am sure they could have sold over 100k tickets. Maybe even 60k each night with strong support acts.

My concerts this year Maiden in Budapest x2, Bratislava, Trondheim, Stavanger and Helsinki Avantasia, Oslo Helloween, Oslo first night Maiden best, Stavanger probably best or Helsinki. Avantasia and Helloween also great. Avantasia probably slightly better than Helloween Also plenty of local...

It's not really a lineup that makes it feel very special is it. Ironically I think having a band like Priest would have given this a bit of a boost and made it more interesting.

Yes, but at the same time Rod has been going on about making Trooper VIP affordable for fans. And I think people going to Knebworth will start to feel shortchanged with the special things costing additional silly money.

More than 50k sold would surprise me. London this year was the big celebration in my opinion. Or should have been. But all we got was Eddie in a West Ham-shirt and a matchday programme.

I am not sure there exists a worse deal than the Knebworth VIP thing. The whole Knebworth show seems so bad even people on the FC are complaining.

I checked Wikipedia Coldplay and Madonna have had higher attendances on the same visit in 2022 and 2008 than Maiden in 2024. Plus some artists from Puerto Rico and Colombia.

I wonder if there is a International act bigger than Maiden in Chile.

The way Bruce sings it live gives the song additional life, a touch of drama and even more emotion.
